| Distribution: |
Type locality: Massachusetts.Lectotype: "N.Y.", designated by Klots (1942:414). |
| Genitalia: |
Identified by female genitalia, see Clark (1987). |
| Similar Species: |
- Acleris flavivittana (Clemens, 1864) cannot be separated and is likely the same species.
- Acleris inana of authors; (not Robinson, 1869) flies only in late Summer and Fall and is best separated by genitalia.
- Acleris robinsoniana (Forbes, 1923) flies in Spring and is best separated by genitalia.
- Pinned specimens of related species. (Hint: select View by Region on the related species page.)

| Synonymy: |
• Teras inana Robinson, 1869 |
| Taxonomic Notes: |
Acleris inana (Robinson, 1869): McDunnough (1934) described and illustrated genitalia for inana. However, as explained by Clarke (1987:175), McDunnough did not refer to the lectotype designated by Klots (1942:414), and what he described was not that species. This apparently undescribed, late summer/fall species is referred to here as "Acleris inana of authors; (not Robinson, 1869)". Clarke found no differences between the lectotpye of inana and putative A. flavivittana, but he stopped short of making a formal synonymy because the type of flavivittana was determined to be lost, leaving the status of inana in limbo. Pohl et al. (2010:424) treated North American records of A. lipsiana as inana. Those records are now regarded as referring to A. capizziana by Gilligan & Brown (in Pohl & Nanz (eds.) 2023) following the the findings in Gilligan et al. (2020:9). The name inana is retained here, but MPG treats all records of inana (excluding those of inana of authors) as flavivittana, pending formal revision. |
